The color PROM 316-138.u49 in Heiankyo Alien is same as in Head On, Head On 2, Space Attack and Space Attack / Head On. Hex-Dump of the PROM: 0000 - 95 B5 B5 35 B5 15 75 F5 0008 - 91 F1 F1 71 B1 31 71 F1 0010 - 95 F5 F5 F5 75 B5 95 B5 <--- Correct colors for Heiankyo 0018 - 91 F1 91 F1 71 B1 91 B1 <--- Colors MAME use The game uses only 8x bytes from the PROM for the colors. In MAME it uses the bytes from the last row ($0018) like Head On or Space Attack. But for Heiankyo Alien it is row ($0010). Like the inverted color PROM in N-Sub (Sega - also vicdual.c), they made some wire mods to the PROM to enable them. To emulate this i simply swapped both rows with ROM_CONTINUE. Use DIFF file or changed line 3398 in src\driver\vicdual.c from ROM_LOAD( "316-138.u49", 0x0000, 0x0020, CRC(67104ea9) SHA1(...) ) to ROM_REGION( 0x0020, "proms", 0 ) ROM_LOAD( "316-138.u49", 0x0000, 0x0010, CRC(67104ea9) SHA1(...) ) ROM_CONTINUE( 0x0018, 0x0008 ) ROM_CONTINUE( 0x0010, 0x0008 ) Now the colors perfectly matches the ones in the YouTube video, see snapshots from the Attract-Mode (heiankyo-Attract-Mode.png)! |

Sounds reasonable, go ahead and submit it. Please include a link to this report and/or information that makes it evident that it's correct. Also, mark the prom as BAD_DUMP, even though they're 99% certain to be correct. |

I updated my last report a little and submit the fix. The PROM is not a BAD_DUMP. More than three games uses it. It is controlled only different. |

Ok, nevermind. The issue was in heiankyo_io_w, and not due to some odd PROM shuffling. Thanks anyway. |
